Kirk has been using just his inbuilt soundcard for years now, but a while back we bought a external soudblaster card... never could get it working. It had sound coming through the speakers, was recognised by as a recording device but we could never get any sound in. Today he went out and bought a new internal Soundblaster card, had it installed and still there is the same problem. Speakers working, inbuilt soundcard disabled... still can't get it to record.

Has anyone got any idea why this would be happening?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Wow, thanks X4StringDrive, that looks like just the thing to try. We'll give that a try and let you know if it solves the problem. Thanks again!

"BUT now Audition is recording the first track onto the second track. "

OldG's drawing is perfect, but it doesn't include what you probably have on your soundblaster. I have the SB Audigy. The SB has a record input selection called "What U hear". If you have this selected it will cause the problem you are seeing. You want to select mic as the record input *if* you plug the mic into the mic input. OldG's drawing also shows how to get your "line in" added to the record panel. It could be called something else like "Auxiliary Mix"/

Git er all figured out now did cha Clancy?

[Clancy]

No not yet X4StringDrive.

Thanks for that fly. I don't have "what U Hear" selected... I have the Auxiliary Mix selected. Finally got that to show up in the Windows recorder by selecting it in the Audigy software itself.

I know how to add things that aren't selected in the recording panel... it's just that it wasn't there until I enabled it in Audigy.

It was all working in Audition 1.5 apart from the double track problem... but then it stopped working again. I think there may be a problem with the soundcard itself as it shouldn't work and then suddenly not work... I never did get it working in Audition 2.0 - Audition 1.5 seemed to recoginise it no problem. 2.0 detected it but it didn't show up as recording.

I don't know, we have set it back to the in-built sound card for now, just so Kirk can get some work done - a new lesson, but I'll get back onto it after that.

Thanks for your help everyone, it's much appreciated.

Clancy - could it possibly be a problem with the software drivers in Audition 2.0? Might want to check Audition's webpage to see if they have any driver updates/patches. Just a thought......

Any luck getting it sussed out yet, Clancy?

[Berserker22]

I just purchased audition 2.0. By all means go to their webpage (Adobe) and download and install the updated drivers. Good luck.

I haven't got back to it yet stratrat. I've just had a bunch of other stuff to do, but next time I have a day to waste (oops spend) on trying to get the damn thing working, I'll try the new drivers and see how that goes.

I'll let your know.

Thanks for you help,

Dear Dear Clancy, my what fun you have brought me{lol}. About 1.5 years ago I bought Adobe Audition version 1.5, and I at the time felt overwelmed by all the bells & whistles so I shelved it until 2days ago, I want to say you inspired me to have another go at it but other words keep coming to mind that I won't use on a family style forum. Anyways heres what I've got & done to my set up, maybe something here you can get that "oh yeah" feeling from. Remember I'm not using 2.0

My set-up -
Guitar - FX processor - PA/Mixer combo - record-out from mixer to - line-in on SoundBlaster card - Phones out from card to - mixer line in{ for monitoring without head phones/ to use head phones I just connect to phones on SBcard}.

Microphone{AKG D590S &/or Audio-Technica DR-140} - Mixer - with the above output setup.

When recording "mic" I turn the input level of the audio completely down and use the monitor level input{on my mixer} when wanting to record and hear previous track at the same time, while not using headphones. I'm sure all this was unneeded info but since I can't type worth a lick I can use the experience.

in Audition while in multi-tracks screen go to ....Options - untick "synchronize with edit veiw" this should allow you to record individual tracks with no bleed thru from any other track{at least on my setup}

Also under options in same screen is device order, my set up is.. under "recording device" 1st listed is wave mapper 2nd is soundblaster, move from unused side if needed...."Playback devices" 1st listed is Soundblaster 2nd is wave mapper, Again move from left side to right if needed.

Now back on the multitack screen, in the track box {where you arm from} there is in & out buttons, my set-up there is in=#2 & out=#1 with both showing Soundblaster as the device.

only other thing I did in options - settings panel I reset "use default workspace".

by the way I'm using Win-XP on this machine,and ASIO4ALL, in the windows{task bar} under volume control panel "use" line-in/mic-in be sure "what you hear" is unticked.


If your still reading at this point the question may be "whats the point?" well point is, if my dumazz can do it, you'll surely figure it out easily{yes I'm sober}.Can't say this was fun, but was another learning project and I'll think I keep climbing this Audition learning curve, kinda like it now that "thats" all over with. I hope I didn't confuse more than offer something.....Good luck and let us know when/if you get after it again.....Kenny

ps: I didn't disable my inboard card from bios, just disabled it from driver properties.

[X4StringDrive]

Up-date...
After more fiddling today I think the only factor is the sync with edit veiw, untick and that should allow single track recording,{once again - on my set-up anyways}.

[Clancy]

Thanks again Kenny, I will look back into this all after I get a few other things done. I'll follow your dumazz advice and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for your time... glad you've got back into Audition... it really is a neat little program.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey JayJay,not a total pc n00b here but what is an interrupt? does it have another name? I'm always game to learn more about this as it relates to recording... Thanks in advance......Kenny

[X4StringDrive]

Thanks JayJay, I'll have to look into this...Cheers right back at cha

[Clancy]

Thanks for the tip Jay, I'll try that out.
